This will include details of the central signal generation, the fiber infrastructure and signal distribution, and the low-phase-noise local oscillator design for the antenna stations.","PeriodicalId":381085,"journal":{"name":"Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes VIII","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124454660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relocation of the telescope involves a variety of changes in the working conditions, which demands in-depth mechanical analysis. To conduct the required studies, an FEM model of the entire telescope has been developed, together with CFD tools. This paper introduces the LCT project, presents the full-FEM model, its validation, and the first steps towards these analyses. Preliminary results of the simulations of the telescope, considering the working conditions at the Plateau, are also shown.","PeriodicalId":381085,"journal":{"name":"Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes VIII","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124874379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
